Well, after much promising over the past two weeks, the time has FINALLY come! I’m announcing my 8th year blogiversary/1000th post giveaway package. One lucky winner will receive a pack of 8 charts (one for each year I’ve been blogging) along with a lot of other stitching-related goodies.
These are all charts from my stash, but have basically never been used. I always make working copies when stitching in order to highlight and mark as I go. I never stitch from my originals, so they are all in excellent condition.
Half of the charts are actually duplicates I had in my stash. One of the duplicates was received as a gift, but I apparently liked all the others well enough that I bought them twice. 
I’ve indicated the status of each chart next to it. All of the other items in the giveaway are brand new and have never been used.
Here is a photo of what I’ve put together followed by a listing of everything that is included:
Roses Welcome – A Mon Ami Pierre (never used)
Heart & Home Folio – Shepherd’s Bush (used only to make working copy)
Cookie Dragon – Enchanting Lair (duplicate)
Stitchin’ Friends – Elizabeth’s Needlework Designs (never used)
Rosemarkie – Long Dog Samplers (used only to make working copy)
Wedding – Long Dog Samplers (duplicate)
Petites Castle & Dragon (Castle Ridge & Above the Clouds) – Teresa Wentzler (duplicate)
Motifs inspired by Whitman’s Tins – Fancy Work (duplicate)
Quarter cut 32-count Rocky Mountain Lugana from Silkweaver
Quarter cut 32-count Lemon Zest Jobelan from Silkweaver
Set of four Pin Pals (stitch markers) from DebBee’s Designs
Pair of 4″ Amanda embroidery scissors from Gingher (retired 2005)
Beaded chatelaine (source unknown – purchased at my LNS)
Selection of Carrie’s Creations cotton floss
Ok, so here are the rules for the giveaway:
- Deadline for entry is 11pm PDT on Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Any entries received after the deadline will not be included in the drawing.
- A winner will be randomly selected (using random.org), and the results posted on my blog, on Thursday, August 27, 2009.
- This giveaway is open to everyone, not just US residents. Please note that if the winner is outside of the US, I will use the most economical method of international shipping available, so it might take a while to arrive.
- How to enter:
- To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog entry indicating that you would like to be entered in the drawing. You must provide your name and email address on the comment form to be entered.
- To be entered a second time, post my photo above and a link to this giveaway on your own blog. When leaving your comment to enter the drawing, please be sure to include that you have posted about this on your blog and include a link. This will allow me to more quickly verify it and to ensure you are entered twice into the drawing.
- All entries must be left as a comment to this blog post. Comments left on other blog posts will not be included in the drawing.
- Random comments that do not indicate whether or not one wants to be entered will not be included in the drawing.
Ok, that’s it for now. I hope you all enjoy the giveaway. I had a lot of fun putting together everything for it. Thankfully for me (and my wallet), drawings this large only come around once every 1000 posts. ;)
Until next time ….
